The rules. The boundaries.
Last updated: December 8, 2025
🎯 TL;DR: Use The Impulse Judge for good (saving money). Don't use it for evil (we can't think of how you would, but lawyers make us say this). We're here to help you keep your money, not take it.
By installing The Impulse Judge browser extension, visiting our website, or subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you disagree with any part, please don't use our services (but maybe still work on those impulse purchases?).
We may update these terms occasionally. When we do, we'll update the date above. Continued use means you accept the changes.
The Impulse Judge offers:
We do NOT provide financial advice. We provide comedic intervention. There's a difference. One requires a license, the other just requires questionable life choices and a laptop.
By using The Impulse Judge, you agree to:
The Impulse Judge name, logo, "roast" content, and original written materials are our intellectual property. The extension code is open source and available under its respective license.
You may share our content with attribution. You may not claim our Judge character as your own (they've been through enough already).
If you submit feedback, testimonials, or other content to us, you grant us permission to use it (anonymously unless you specify otherwise). We promise to only use it to make The Judge better or funnier.
By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive:
You can unsubscribe anytime with one click. We won't guilt trip you. Okay, maybe The Judge will silently judge, but that's it.
Here's where we get serious. Really serious.
We solemnly swear that if we EVER include affiliate links or sponsored recommendations, we will:
The bottom line: Our mission is to help you KEEP your money. If we ever recommend something, it's because we genuinely believe it serves that mission. The moment we prioritize profit over your financial wellbeing, The Judge officially becomes the villain - and that's not the character arc we want.
The Impulse Judge is a humor-based tool for self-reflection. We are not financial advisors, therapists, or your mom (though we may sound like all three). Any decisions you make about your money are your own.
The extension and website are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do our best to keep things running smoothly, but we can't guarantee the extension will work on every website or catch every checkout button. Some sites are sneaky.
We're not responsible for third-party websites you visit, even if you got there through our extension or links. Once you leave our little corner of the internet, you're on your own (but The Judge's voice might still echo in your head).
To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Impulse Judge and its creators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of our services.
Translation: If you ignore The Judge and buy that third air fryer anyway, that's on you.
You can stop using The Impulse Judge anytime by uninstalling the extension and unsubscribing from our newsletter. We can also terminate or suspend access if you violate these terms (but honestly, if you're using an anti-impulse-buying extension maliciously, we're more confused than angry).
These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes will ideally be resolved through communication, because lawsuits are the ultimate impulse purchase nobody needs.
Questions about these terms? Suggestions? Just want to tell us about your latest resist victory?
⚠️ Remember: The Impulse Judge is designed to make you pause and think. The final decision is always yours. We're just the voice in your browser asking "do you really need that?" We believe in you. Your wallet believes in you. Now go forth and resist.
